CHAMPION SOUND RADIO

Ohhhh lord, some more goodness out of Miami here. Compliments of the CHAMPION SOUND crew and their weekly party at the Electric Pickle comes this promo mix, CHAMPION SOUND RADIO (download link), with the night’s resident DJs and badasses, Sire Esq, A-Train, and Mr. Brown throwing down for about 15 minutes each in this 45 minute set. We’re talking hip-hop, funk, soul, latin bit of turntablism here and there, all around killer shit, Miami style. Seriously been bumping this set through my headphones on the subway all week, perfect for feeling hot when the weather’s getting cold. Download now and get funky.

Good vibes @ Body Music, Bembe

This mix right here is a nod to one of my favorite clubs/bars/lounges in Brooklyn, Bembe, and their weekly Sunday “Body Music” party. Hosted by resident DJs Jesse Mann and the good Reverend Soul, Body Music hosts live music by some of Brooklyn’s finest funk and afrobeat bands with some seriously dope DJ sets before, during, and after the show. Holding down boogie, latin, disco, house, African business, and anything else that sounds good, in short these guys play the brilliant sort of mix of tunes I go out at night looking to hear. Couple it with one of the most chill, welcoming, home-away-from-home spots you’ll ever find yourself at (with some seriously fine, and totally reasonably priced drinks) and you’ve got yourself a real party. Check out this demo mix from Jesse Mann and do your best not to listen to it too many times over (I know, it’s hard)… you’ll wear out the tracks.

You can check the playlist here on Jesse’s site, along with a big list of other mixes you probably need to hear, or just come to Body Music at Bembe and catch the good vibe for yourself.

(Side Note: How many of us have that same bright blue needle case? I see more of those around town than Streisand records in a thrift shops…)
